Cliches--start a paper or sentence of a paragraph with the following
reference "In today's society..", "We all know that......", or "You
(instructor) know what I mean"...Instructor: "No, I know what you
wrote!" Student: "What do you want us to do?" Instructor: "A good job on
the assignment!" May favourite: "People will believe what they want!"
Cheers, Jim

Subject: National cliche day
I have been asked to participate on a radio show tomorrow in a segment
on cliches in honor of National Cliche Day. Does anybody out there have
any old chestnuts they would like to share? Any favourite student
phrasings? I await your responses with baited breath.
